How to store breastmilk

I always wondered how to store and organize breast milk when I was pregnant, so I thought I would share how we do it. Thanks for watching!

Good point lol I want to upload videos also just for fun but all I've been able to upload is one of my son and it took me forever to figure it out. Maybe someday I will though =]

Great video! I don't feel as though I am producing that much milk. . . How often do you pump?

[lindzer722]

@5smalls5 Thank you! When I am working/school I pump once every 3-4 hours and I usually pump 2-3 times total. That ends up being about 10-15 ounces. :)

@betosrose I do pump while I am at school. The way I do it, and it seems like something you could do as well, is I pump during the day while I am at school (same as you do at night). Then I bag that milk and freeze it, using the oldest milk (mine from August and you could use what is in the grocery bags) for the next bottle feeding. Then I just rotate it. That way, I always have the newest milk freezing, while using the oldest milk. No, I don't exclusively pump. I feed her evenings/nights. :)

do you pump while at school? You have a lot of milk! Right after birth I did have to pump a whole lot and I have about two grocery bags full in the deep freezer....but I don't use it. I'm not really sure what to do with it. I work at night and pump once during the night, making one feeding. That one bottle would be his feeding for the next night while I'm at work, and I breastfeed throughout the day. So pretty much I only pump what he's going to use the next night. Do you exclusively pump?
